Playoffs?!?!?!?!
Okay, so it's been a while, and contrary to popular belief, I've not had much to talk about.
Until now, because the Chicago Bears, convincing winners over The New Orleans Saints of America, are attributing their second-half surge to the taunting that came at the tail end of Reggie Bush's (electrifying) 88-yard touchdown run.
Read that again: The Chicago Bears, owners of the third-best overall defense in the NFL, number 1 seed in the NFC Playoffs, and division champs, could only get fired up to break the game open because a rookie taunted them.
Listen, I've bitched about the underdog, "nobody gave us a chance" card in professional sports before, and will probably do so again. But with all the above mentioned accolades, the Bears were offended by Reggie Bush outrunning and pointing at Brian Urlacher? I'm having a hard time wrapping my brain around that. Professional football players (or the ones that still care, anyway) sell out their bodies year-round and mortgage future mobility to play in the NFL. The ultimate goal of any pro football player is to play in and win the Super Bowl. After one half of the NFC Championship Game, needing only one more half to go to reach the Bowl for the first time in 21 years, the Bears are saying that they weren't completely ready, and that it took bad sportsmanship to get them adaquately fired up to rout the Saints.
This is the reason that I will be openly rooting against the Bears and for the Colts, even though I don't particularly like Peyton Manning. The Bears are being childish, and if I'm Reggie Wayne or Joseph Addai or even Manning himself, I start ragging on the Bears defense right now.

do the bears not realize that everyone on the defense feels the need to flex after every tackle, even if they weren't involved? especially that p.o.s. urlacher. i hate everything about chicago, except the cubs. go colts
You just can't beat a good dance after "stopping" a guy for a 4-yard gain. I hate the Bears, too. I also don't like Peyton Manning, but whatever. Go Colts, indeed.
i think reggie deserved a little celebration since he made the defense look completely foolish. i loved the pointing. it was my favorite part of that crappy game.
Anytime you can run that fast and make that many people look that stupid, you should be allowed to celebrate. Besides, no one complained in college when that was his standard entrance into the USC endzone. And where was the complaining two weeks ago from the Eagles when he did a sort-of Priest Holmes entrance? Oh wait, the Eagles aren't a bunch of children, unlike the Chicago Defense.
if rex grossman wins a super bowl, i may have to go to the combine and throw a few around. does he qualify as a poor man's brad johnson? those rings should have asterisks on them for crappy ass quarterbacks. p.s. superbowl plans??
I think the "poor-man" tree would have to be broken down like this:
1. Trent Dilfer
2. Rex Grossman, the poor-man's Trent Dilfer (not saying much).
3. Brad Johnson, the homeless man's Trent Dilfer (retire right now).
None yet, any ideas?
if you feel like making the trek out to shakopee, we were possibly having a showing. call me if you are interesteed, the workday is over and i have earned my pay. it's good to have you back online. i'm waiting for the wolves rants

Shakopee's not that far, I could probably get out there for that. We should get together soon either way.
